Doris vs Me

Doris ~ there is so much love in this home
Hubby ~ I thought you took your hearing aids out at night
Doris ~ perplexed, I do...Oh I'm not talking about that kind of love
I start laughing and shaking my head...

Her: Have you ever thought of a  hair piece, you could wear it up and down, it would look very attractive.

Me: no I don't 

Her: it would look really good

Me: no, nope

Her even if it was paid for?

Me: no I don't want one

Her: Well you would  look attractive with one.....

hmm was kinda afraid to ask what she was really saying......

Her: I really like Deb, I think that is her name.. she's 60

Me: Her husband is 70..

Her: Does he have a brother......

Hmmm. guess the new meds are kicking in..

 

Doris was talking to someone at her  cousins home and telling whole history

I'm 76 you start going down hill as soon as you turn 21. She hangs up & says I have no idea who I was talking too.....

 

Doris: So and so used to store her paper work under the couch.  Her hubby  brought a big desk in and put it in the middle of the living room. I told him, his wife  should be able to find a place for all her papers now….. 

Me:  I interrupted, it's comments like that that cause problems. You didn't need to say those things about her storing and filing issues.

Doris: Well it didn't help, her hubby said the desk was for him...

ov vey

 

Doris: The ringing in my ears is really bad today...

Me: have you mentioned this to the doctors, do they know your ears ring?

Doris: why no, I just deal with it....

Ugh make a note. talk to doctor about ringing ears

Doris to caregiver: straighten up my room (please), put my 3 eye drops in the empty candy box

Me: 3 eye drops? you have 2..

Doris: No I have 3

Caregiver just stands and stares at us

Me: Doctor knows you have 2 where did the other come from?

Doris: I don't know....

Doris: and those new drops burn...

Me: you've had those new drops for over a week now & now are mentioning burning...

Fast forward:

I take all 3 bottles to eye doctor, ask what she is suppose to use, come home & give 2 back, keep 1 and confirm burning is normal...

Doris:couple days later, my eyes don't hurt so much now..

Me: probably because you were using 3 glaucoma drops instead of 2, over medicating....

Life continues to be full of funny moments...
